Appreciate what you Have at
Home.

The Atchison Champion 'ftalks like
a Dutch uncle" to it's readers, and the
advice given will fit any other commu-
nifty, hence we copy it for the benefit
of our people:
"The habit of many people of depre-
ciating what they have at home and
of !auding what may be had elsewhere
is one of the incongruities of human
nature. How many people there are
who leave their own town and 60 to a
neighboring city to buy goods, for ex-
ample, when the same material, and in
a majority of cases, of better quality at
less cost, is furnished by their home
merchants. So, too, not few people
past right by home architects, builders,
contractors, mechanics, and employ non
residents, when the home skill, in nine
cases out of ten, is much the best.
This can hardly be called good way to
build up town. II is the duty of
every citizen to patronize home indus
tries and to give them the preference
whenever it can be done without detri-
ment to the object in view. Not only
home industries, but home professions
should be encouraged and patronized.
If town is supplied with good attor-
neys, physicians and school teachers,
they should be encouraged an patron
lied in preference to those residing
elsewhere. The people who stand by
their own business and professional men
are worth more to town than those
who make practice of depreclating
them, and who imagine, for instance,
that Atchison can be built up by pat
ronizing Kansas City.

The Nickerson Register Of last week
says: ''The Santa Fe train collectors
change at Great Bend, and at that
place have rented rooms where they
make their headquarters. We are in
formed that On Wednesday the sheriff
OF Barton county, at the instigation
OF the Santa Fe officials, raided the room
supposedly for the purpose of finding
evidence that the collectors are beating
the company. Nothing more rank than
dirty linen was unearthed and the col
iectors are most justly indignant at this
high-handed proceeding. We UNDER
stand that they will all resign. The
company is finding out that their old
conductors did their work about as sat
isfactorily as anyone they could hire.

The Best Means of AScertaining
the Exact Status of Kan.
saS' Growth and
TmnrOyemont.
Improvement

This is what the Burlington Nom
pareil has to say of the future outlook
for Kansas:
The best means of ascertaining the
exact status of the wonderful growth
and activity going on in Kansas to-day,
is to sit down as we do each week, and
read of the matchless progress as out
lined in the six hundred state papers
that reach our exchange table. They
relate stories of booms in real estate, Of
the erection of mammoth business
blocks and palatial homes in the cities
and towns, of wonderful natural gas
wells, of the construction of railroads in
every direction, and an influx of immi-
grafton truly marvelous-the very best
element of people Of eastern states, who
are coming to Kansas to secure home
in commonwealth composed of indus
trious, sober, intelligent and happy peo
pie. Throughout the length and
breadth of this rich and prosperous
state, in city, town and village, there is
represented a map of busy life, which
indicates increased population and val
uation. The towns born with the early
spring already are represented with diff
ferent branches of business, while all
the other towns and cities are securing
the more permanent improvements
which age alone can bring. Beautiful
farm lands are being opened, and the
number of acres under cultivation in
1887 will far exceed the year 1886.
With the steady settlement in Kansas,
land has increased in value; each year
witnesses more and better buildings;
the farmers are becoming better sit
uated in every way, fruit treea planted
few years ago are commencing to
bring returns, and in every way Kan
sas is more desirable place for home
than it was last year. So it will be
for many years to come. Yes, those
in the east contemplating change can
not do better than to come to favored
Kansas, and if they want to secure a
home for little money, our advice would
be to come now. Next year land will
advance, and desirable homes will be
more difficult to secure. At the pres
ent rate Of progress and development,
within ten years this state will compare
favorably with any state in the Union
in point of population, and but few
states will surpass her in wealth.

A Priest that Wouldn't Marry
Them.

1t Is very seldom that minister or
other individuals authorized to perform
marriage ceremonies, take it upon them
selves to refuse to perform the cere-
mony on account of the general charac-
Ter Of one of the contracting parties.
Father Corbett, of the Grand Avenue
Jesuit Church, however, appears to be
an exception to the rule, and when a
man recently appeared before him with
a bride. he positively declined to marry
the parties. Addressing the bride he
said: 81 know the man you desire to
marry. know him to be a regular
drunkard, and will not marry you. ;"
An attempt was made to pursuade the
priest to change his views, but he re-
fused to do so, and the couple went else
where and were married. HIS good
judgment, however, was indicated, as
the unfortunate bride two weeks after
wards was compelled to leave her hus-
band on account of his dissolute habits.
A divorce suit will come next. That
good intentions, however, are not al
ways consistent, is illustrated by the
fact that Eofhor Corbo%% ,,o,,;oJ C:l

THE CORN CROP.

There are croakers and croakers in
Kansas, and with them dire predictions
of disaster.
Just at this time the drOuth crOaker is
on deck, stoutly affirming that we will
have no rain from this on, all summer,
and that in consequence, the corn crop
will be an abject failure.
The corn crop of Kansas occupies
relative position to the peach crop OF Del
aware, in that when the croakers most
abound the greatest yields prevail.
Some portions of Iowa and Ilinons are
drouth stricken, to be sure, but it was an
early drouth there, and has been continued
while Kansas was scraping the mud from
off her shoes.
The drouth belt is evidently moving
East, and Kansas can no longer be consid-
cred within the danger line.
In our opinion there was never better
outlook for corn in this state then at pres
ent With few more favorable rains
the crop is assured, and the yield will ex-
coed by % per cent that of any previous
year.-Leavenworth Times.

journal, however, speaks of German
delivering rabld address in the Ger

favor of the prohibition amendment
which is to be voted on in that state

this which makes the Texas canvass so

A Live Worm in a Cake of Ice.

DEs MONIES, TO-, July ia curl
Gus discovery was made yesterday by
a gentlemanlivin on East Ninth street,
which is worthy Of the consideration of
scientists. While engaged in chopping
a huge block of ice he noticed, imbed-
ded in its very center small black Oh
ject, which appeared to bea small stick.
Upon breaking the ice at that point,
however, it was found to be worm about
three inches long, encircled with yellow
rings. When exposed to the sun it lay
dormant for while, and then crawled
off, greatly to the surprise Of the neigh
bors who had gathered around. No re-
cord Of the existence of an "ice worm
is to be found, and the owner of this
new specimen is waiting for enlighten-
mcnt on the subject of his discovery.

Some of the Freaks Of the Authors Of =
Hundred Years Ago.

huhutfu htAib Ako*
With many writers, especially IN former
times. various curious styles of composition
were much I'm favor. One author, for exam
pie. would compose verses with some par
ticular letter omitted from every stanza !;
others would write in such way that the
line read the same backward and forward,
and still others made anagrams. II was
fashionable at one time 10 write verses In
fantastic shapes
The forms Of a bottle, glass, or lady's
fan were initiated, and this was done by
lengthening or shortening the lines as re-
quired, though with sad detriment 70 the
verse, Where the design was bottle, a
number Of short lines would go % form the
neck; gradually lengthening. the shoulder
would be formed. and then the body.
We read also of verses arranged In the
form Of "a pair Of gloves, pair of spccta-
Giles, and pair OF pot-hpoks." Specimens
OF this kind OF literary friyolity are to be
found In French, Spanish and English books
of the sixteenth century,
Both In China and Japan such literary
feats are held in great esteem, even in the
present day; In the latter country the poet
not inifequently arranges his verses in the
shane OF mans head--thus, perhaps, giving
faciai outline of the subject of his verse /;
and though the Chinese may not make so
nice choice, choosing perhaps COW or other
animal for the design, they display greater
ingenuity by 80 doing.
Ingenious as this kind Of thing may be, the
time spent in II is wasted, and we agree with
the Eastern king, 10 whom poet read a long
work, from which theletter A was altogether
excluded.
